The Opportunity
Monash University is honoured to be the first Australian university to receive a licence to operate in China, one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies, via the partnership at Suzhou with the Southeast University (SEU), one of China’s key national universities as well as the establishment of Monash Suzhou. The SEU-Monash partnership consists of the Joint Research Institute (JRI) and the Joint Graduate School (JGS), and will produce postgraduates and researchers with ideas to change people’s lives in the region and the world for the better.
The JRI conducts multi-disciplinary research projects in areas of strategic importance to industry in Australia and China. To facilitate the collaboration, Monash established The Monash Suzhou Science and Technology Research Institute (MSSTRI) and currently has five priority research themes that address strategic issues of mutual interest, including:
- Advanced computation in science and engineering;
- advanced materials and manufacturing;
- energy and environment;
- future cities; and
- life sciences.
We are seeking an individual passionate about undertaking research in Translation Studies as well as multidisciplinary research through the application of Translation Studies to problems in one or more of the five research themes above.
You will also be responsible for teaching Chinese-English interpreting and translation units that form part of the Double Masters in Interpreting and Translation Studies in the JGS, and supervision of graduate research students at Master and PhD level.
To be successful in this position you will have completed a doctoral qualification in Translation Studies, or related discipline area together with subsequent research and teaching experience; a record of publications and high-level technical skills and abilities.
An appropriately qualified appointee will be offered an honorary adjunct appointment as a Lecturer with the Faculty of Arts of Monash University, to be held conjointly with the appointment as Research Fellow, MSSTRI.
